@sailornic I think the patents on the og gamecube controller might have expired? I'm not sure, there were tons of third partys back in the GC era so patents might not even cover it. But Panda is also partnering with nintendo for their own circuit so maybe they get a pass either way?
@andykara2003 The stick is based on the stickboxes used in the 2007 JP white, and the smash bros controllers for Wii U and ultimate. So it will probably feel like those

@Meteoroid They said you can play it on switch over USB, but if you want wireless you gotta buy an expansion pack.
